I hate that hn encourages this type of obnoxious headline. Just tragic. I feel this sort of pitiful neglect is what republicans think when they say "let the market find a solution". You know what would be awesome?…
Um. The website and app are now blocking access unless you log in. I feel like this is a case of geniuses doing stupid shit that any normal person would never do. They probably have some subtle economics/psychology…
This is an absurd and outrageous statement. Akin to the full pay glossy ads for oil companies in Vanity Fair with messages like "We care about people and nature". M$ is serious about embrace, extend, extinguish. M$ is…
Very strange.
Hah! HN has definitely gotten worse over the last 5 years. You may have gotten smarter, but HN is now a major news hub for a VERY VERY VERY FUCKING DESIRABLE DEMOGRAPHIC. So there is about 1000% more spam and maybe 20%…
This needs to be reported as an invalid story to HN. This is a case where the submitter has not read the article. The abstract clearly states that the intervention is NOT exercise. Rather it is "encouragement" to…
We have a space program because of Sputnik. This letter is a load of BS, space exploration is all about international politics. tl;dr America, fuck yeah
So I post the first verse of "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" by the geto boys, and I see it gets censored. I'm pissed. This is, in my opinion, brilliant commentary on the OP displaying my genius and superior wit.…
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth 'cause real gangsta-ass niggas don't start fights And niggas always gotta high cap…
That's ridiculous. MSFT made some decisions without really A) thinking about or B) caring about the consequences. Their MO from day 1 is to screw everyone else and become fabulously wealthy in the process.
I worked for a startup that was A) cobbled together with completely shit code, was constantly breaking on releases, and was glued together by ???. and B) a ridiculously over-engineered monstrosity with independent…
I honestly thought Dave McClure was a multi-millionaire. Apparently not. The rich people I have interacted with and observed are huge dorks. They may be decent, hard-working people, fair, and generous, but they are…
1. Eliezer S. Yudkowsky was 17 when he wrote his article. 2. Yudkowsky's article starts off with unfalsifiable nonsense and unwarranted speculation about the future course of evolution. 3. IQ can't be improved? Are you…
You have to spend a lot of time doing it. A lot. Of time. Probably the fastest way is to pick up SICP and work through most of the problems. And, by extension, look at the undergraduate curriculum of, say, UC Berkeley /…
1. It makes a big difference if this policy is implemented at the team or company level 2. It makes a big difference if the policy is mandatory or advisory. If it is advisory, it can be a powerful tool for eliminating…
Taking startup advice seriously is a bad idea if you get it from blog posts. Most of it is blind leading the blind. I think Max Levchin's startup advice response on quota is more interesting than the average.
You have no understanding of modern economies, and you should not have posted this comment. Wall St. is run and operated by greedy people who invest money to make a profit. This is what they do, and it indirectly…
This is just one opinion, it is difficult to extrapolate, but there is some truth. In particular, Asian-American parents have a reputation for being strict, although I have no direct experience of this (I am white).…
Counterexample: 4chan. If you can ignore the porn, 4chan, and in particular /b/, is a fantastic resource. There is a lot of noise. A LOT of noise. But it is still the only place where I can get that heady mix of…
Let me get this straight: we're going to use Bret Taylor as a cautionary tale? Are you f...ing kidding me? Some random tech press guy is passing judgement on a multimillionaire? Talk about delusional.
1. Is flirting your real goal? 4 billion years of evolution says "mmmmmmm...maybe not" google "maniac high no nonsense" if you actually need help with the birds and the bees. Also "ross jeffries lost in space" for…
Why does this sort of stuff get up-voted on HN? It's pure blog-spew. Sunday feel-good bad-analogy flattering nonsense. You don't think this is nonsense? The term "muscle memory" in the context of CS is incoherent. As…
